Vacation at Martha's Vineyard

Ann & I had a wonderful time at Martha's Vineyard. Her family (on her Mom's side) rents a beautiful home every year and have a quasi-family reunion. It is very informal (a sort of come as you please attitude). The schedule is basically what you want it to be, with the exception of "Happy Hour" that starts promptly at 4PM. Jenny's whiskey sours were brillant.

We made the usual rounds that anyone visiting the Vineyard should do (Breakfast at The Black Dog, Coastal drives around the island, and shopping at Vineyard Vines). I think my favorite thing to do was waking up every morning with the ocean outside my window and the sound of waves crashing along the shoreline.

After Martha's Vineyard, Ann & I spend about a day and a half in Boston. We celebrated the 4th of July there last year so we had pretty much seen the sites. This time, we shopped 'till we dropped at Filene's Basement and did a scenic tour of a local park in the Swan Boats.

All-in-all it was a lovely vacation. There is nothing better in the world than to have a family around you that loves you and a beautiful girl by yourside to share it with.
